Trinity Sunday Year A 2023
Who can grasp the Trinity? They are one and yet three. Yet all the virtues and characteristics of one person are in all three. They work their unity in us for the Father send the son out of love, not hostility, to bring us into committed unity with the Son and thus with him. This is the worked within us by the Holy Spirit. Here we can meditate for the rest of our lives.

FIRST READING
Exodus 34:4b–6, 8–9
4 Moses then cut two stone tablets like the former, and early the next morning he went up Mount Sinai as the LORD had commanded him, taking in his hand the two stone tablets.
5 The LORD came down in a cloud and stood with him there and proclaimed the name, “LORD.” 6 So the LORD passed before him and proclaimed: The LORD, the LORD, a God gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in love and fidelity,
8 Moses at once knelt and bowed down to the ground. 9 Then he said, “If I find favor with you, Lord, please, Lord, come along in our company. This is indeed a stiff-necked people; yet pardon our wickedness and sins, and claim us as your own.”

GOSPEL
John 3:16–18
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. 18 Whoever believes in him will not be condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
